do not trust hello.coop and their verified identities, or their verified.coop and press.coop instances

they use their "verification" service to make a false claim of association for accounts such as BBC and NPR at their press.coop instance, despite them not being at all official

they then use a fake checkmark badge and tag their Twitter mirroring accounts on press.coop with this verification to mislead people into thinking they're official

Screenshot of hello.coop's verification page, claiming that "BBC@press.coop" owns "twitter.com/BBC"
Screenshot of @BBC@press.coop, showing a fake verification emoji and a verified link, claiming they're verified to be BBC on Twitter.

@ipg that might violate the dot coop agreements, you should talk to them. Coop’s aren’t supposed to make movement look bad it’s in rochdale principles as an inverse of a rule on inter cooperation.

@ipg realized they exist 1-d days ago when I saw the NPR account on their, really don't know how to deal with this...

On one hand I agree with having some place that is willing to faithfully mirror those news outlets

On the other hand I agree the profile green checks are a bit too misleading. Even for someone familiar with the fediverse it takes quite a bit of effort to realize the profile green check is fabricated

@ipg “Do not trust .. verified identities”

Several other official sources check (such as websites and Linkedin profiles, for example) + common sense check (helps against hacked official accounts to some extent) is always better, and the best is instances like kernel.org’s one which is linked to organization’s official website domain

@ipg I noticed this earlier! The hackers unlisted/unprivated a lot of videos before completely nuking the channel, which was incredibly odd. Only have this one screen shot.

A screenshot of the Videos tab of the Linus Tech Tips channel showings tons of videos from around 2013 that were never made public for one reason or another.

remember to call chiptune music "midi" in front of your nearest chiptune enthusiast

TheFloofierLove

@ipg super mario bros 3 had some of the finest midi compositions

alex :antiverified:

@ipg i mean i guess all music can be represented as midi so… not entirely wrong?

@ipg It's kinda funny in a sad way how utterly incompetent Google is at managing their products, but is more than capable of manipulating and destroying entire markets.
